Fried Rice with Minute Rice

Every minute counts when you have a job, family and house that needs cleaned. Some days you just aren’t going to be able to do it all .. and that’s ok.

We weren’t created to do it all in one day.  To balance your hectic schedule – tonight make an easy dinner including protein and veggies that you can feel good about feeding your family and still have time left over for homework, laundry and a little … me time!

I have a confession to make – I love using Minute Rice!

In the heart of the battle for clean eating and good health stands a box of red Minute rice. Is it a convenience food or a healthy source of carbs and fiber? Or maybe a little bit of both … Is this rice something that one should feel good about feeding their family if it only takes 5 minutes to cook?

Well, we think yes!
